The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

After Dong Ci surrendered, under Mu Fengyi's recommendation, he quickly became acquainted with other generals.Everyone is a general, with a forthright and straightforward personality, and they get along very well.

Maybe it's because of fate, or maybe it's because they are generals who often stay behind. Dong Ci has never heard of the rumors about Yuchi Yuanhe. Gradually, Mu Fengyi discovered that Dong Ci and Yuchi Yuanhe have very close contacts.

It was a day off at noon, and Dong Ci and Yuchi Yuanhe had lunch together.While chatting, Dong Ci suddenly said: "I don't seem to have heard you mention your family?"

"I'm not married yet."

Dong Ci was a little surprised, "We are about the same age, my son is four, and you haven't married yet? Why?"

Yuchi Yuan congratulated, "Mu Fengyi didn't even marry a wife."

"That's right." Dong Ci thought for a while, and said, "I have a younger sister who is very pretty..."

Hearing this beginning, Yuchi Yuanhe narrowed his eyes.

Dong Ci continued: "I have a headache when I say it. This girl likes Mu Fengyi. I mentioned it to Mu Fengyi, but he always pushes back. I have been thinking of finding someone to break her mind, but she has to marry her." Not for a general—probably because I admire my brother too much."

Dong Ci's hints were so obvious, of course Yuchi Yuanhe could understand, he showed a strange smile, "I'm not a monk either, it's just that I haven't met a lovely girl in these years..."

"What kind do you like?" Before he finished speaking, Dong Ci couldn't wait to ask, "My sister is as beautiful as a fairy, gentle and considerate, she will never let you down."

Yuchi Yuanhe looked at him with a suppressed smile, coughed lightly, and continued: "But I met a lot of nice men."

Dong Ci: "..."

Yuchi Yuanhe patted him on the shoulder, "Your sister is as beautiful as a fairy and gentle and considerate, are you afraid that you won't meet Mr. Ruyi? Don't worry."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mu Fengyi always felt that the way Dong Ci looked at him these days was very strange, he hesitated to speak, and there was some probing and doubt in it. out.

After that day, Dong Ci refreshed his understanding of the whole world. He knew the reason why Yuchi Yuanhe didn't marry a wife, so he naturally had all kinds of new speculations about why Mu Fengyi was alone so far.With such careful thinking, he was shocked to find that sometimes when Mu Fengyi and Yuchi Yuanhe met, their expressions would be indescribably strange.

So Dong Ci: "...?!!!"

After listening to his careful explanation, Dong Ci raised three fingers anxiously, "Don't worry, I will never spread the word! I don't reject this either! Really!"

Mu Fengyi almost didn't come up in one breath.He hammered his chest and slowed down, making up his mind to stay away from Yuchi Yuanhe in the future.

Dong Ci sighed, and said, "You guys are so dishonest that you deliberately refused to let my sister marry. Hey, is there any general in King Liang's army who didn't marry a wife? I can't let her be a concubine..."

Mu Fengyi looked at him gloomyly, gritted his teeth and said, "How many times have I said this, I'm not Duanxiu!"

"……what?"

It was late at night, and Yuchi Yuanhe was exhausted from a busy day, so he wobbled back to the room to rest, and just as he was stuck on the couch, he was forced to sit up again by the armor.He was really too lazy to take off his armor and change his clothes, so he just put on his heavy armor and sat crookedly on the ground leaning against the bed, his head almost stuck in the chamber pot.

Just as he closed his eyes in a daze, the other side came in to look for him again, and reported: "General, the person who served Mr. Ye came to report that Mr. Ye was ill."

Yuchi Yuanhe rubbed his face, and stood up with his hands propped up.

Ever since he found out about these things, Bai Yujia sent people to take care of and protect Ye Zhiyan, preventing Yuchi Yuanhe from getting close easily.After a lot of effort, he finally softened Ye Zhiyan a little bit, and bought a servant who served Ye Zhiyan to let him pass the news to him at ordinary times.

The next day Baiyu got up and went out, walked to the fence and saw Yuchi Yuanhe hurrying in the yard, he asked aloud.

Yuchi Yuanhe stopped and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Ye Zhiyan's high fever persists, and the general will invite a doctor to come and take a look."

Bai Yu hurried downstairs, and went to Ye Zhiyan's bedroom with Yuchi Yuanhe and the doctor, "The fever doesn't subside? What's going on?"

Ye Zhiyan lay on the couch with a flushed face.

Bai Yu reached out and touched his forehead, feeling that it was so hot that an egg could be boiled.He quickly backed away two steps and let the doctor come forward for diagnosis and treatment.

The doctor wrote the prescription and said: "Your Highness, please order this medicine to be decocted according to this prescription, so as to reduce the fever of the patient. He is fine, he is suffering from cold and frostbite."

Yuchi Yuanhe sighed, and said: "I told him not to get up in the middle of the night to guard those flowers, and he was always lazy and refused to wear more clothes..."

Bai Yu keenly caught something, and turned to look at Yuchi Yuanhe.

Yuchi Yuanhe looked calm.

It was then that Bai Yu remembered what Yuchi Yuanhe had just said about Ye Zhiyan's high fever.

"Non-refundable", what is "non-refundable"?It means that Yuchi Yuanhe knew that Ye Zhiyan had a fever for a while, he knew about it a long time ago, and he didn't go to see the doctor himself until he didn't retreat.

"What time did you come here this morning?"

"It wasn't this morning, it was last night." Yuchi Yuanhe remained calm.

"You've been here all night?"

He was still calm, "Yes."

Bai Yu sized him up for a while, then suddenly pointed at the door, "I think you have nothing to do. Do you want to watch the sergeant drill? Do you want to study the formation of troops? Do you want to supervise the city defense patrol? Do you want to report the enemy's military situation? Going to investigate? We haven't finished the last battle yet, you're just wandering here and there, you don't do your business, you don't sleep at night and come here to spend the night, what do you want to do? Crowd to keep warm? Go, hurry up Do your business! Or I'll let you wash the horses!"

Yuchi Yuanhe hurriedly rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and he fell in a flash.

Just as Bai Yu sat down beside Ye Zhiyan's bed, Yuchi Yuanhe turned back and said by the door: "Your Highness, the general is in love with him, sincerely."

Bai Yu turned to look at him, and said in a flat tone, "It's no use telling me if you really don't mean it. He won't tell me what you did to him, but I can probably guess."

"The last general will not hurt him again in the future." Yuchi Yuan congratulated.

Bai Yu was silent for a while, and finally said: "This is a matter for the two of you, you can handle it yourself."

Ye Zhiyan was hot all over and drowsy. After a while, he felt something cold on his forehead, which made him feel a little better.

When he opened his eyes, Yuchi Yuanhe had just taken off the towel on his forehead and was rewetting it in the basin.Seeing that Ye Zhiyan woke up, he said, "I've got someone to cook porridge for you. Get up and eat something?"

Ye Zhiyan stared at him for a while, then gave a soft "hmm".

Yuchi Yuanhe touched the bowl to test the temperature, helped Ye Zhiyan up, and fed him porridge mouthful by mouthful.After feeding the porridge, Yuchi Yuanhe didn't mention their matter again, and only came out quietly after watching Ye Zhiyan fall asleep.

After Ye Zhiyan recovered from his illness, Yuchi Yuanhe came more frequently.He didn't ask Ye Zhiyan for forgiveness, he just came to chat with him to relieve boredom, or bring some new gadgets to Ye Zhiyan.

He deliberately didn't buy any expensive things, Ye Zhiyan didn't refuse, and silently accepted them, he didn't say he liked it or didn't say he didn't like it, and his attitude towards Yuchi Yuanhe was also lukewarm.The two get along like acquaintances who can speak a few words.

A few days later, Yuchi Yuanhe came again with a big item.

It was a very beautiful qin, the body of the qin was painted brightly, the surface of the qin was ancient paulownia wood that had been aged for hundreds of years, and the carved patterns were also very exquisite. The seven strings of the qin were shimmering. With the sound of "Zheng", the tone is long and long, vigorous and simple.

"This is very expensive." Ye Zhiyan said.

"It's not expensive if you like it." Yuchi Yuanhe said with a smile, "Today is your birthday."

Ye Zhiyan looked at him, then at the piano, and shook his head, "It's too expensive, I can't take it."

"Just treat it as me begging you to accept it." Yuchi Yuanhe walked to him, his eyes full of begging, "give me a little hope."

Ye Zhiyan has been wondering for a long time, "You became too sudden. Why?"

"I've seen those paintings of yours." Yuchi Yuanhe finally said what had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Your senior brother, I kind of resemble him. Don't you?"

Ye Zhiyan's hands trembled slightly.

This incident was embarrassing for Yuchi Yuanhe.His consistent self-esteem does not allow him to endure being the shadow of others. He extremely hates others' insight into his fragility and softness, so disgusted that he would rather cover it up with viciousness.But to speak out about this matter and admit these shames of oneself is even more like taking his own life.

He gritted his teeth and said bravely: "I really like you, but I always feel that when you look at me, you treat me as someone else, so I can't help hating you, so I can only pretend that I don't care You, numb yourself by hurting you."

Yuchi Yuanhe's words deeply touched the deepest pain in Ye Zhiyan's heart when he was young.He knew what it was like, to be used as a shadow, as a stand-in.There is no greater humiliation than this, he held a heart in his hand, and the other party wrote another person's name on that heart.

"It's not him." Ye Zhiyan said.

"What?" Yuchi Yuanhe didn't understand.

"I didn't draw him." After Ye Zhiyan finished speaking, he quietly looked at Yuchi Yuanhe.

Yuchi Yuanhe was stunned for a moment.

Ye Zhiyan seemed to have melted a corner of the ice that Ye Zhiyan had cast to protect him, Yuchi Yuanhe couldn't help but want to hold his hand, Ye Zhiyan took a step back and avoided it.

Yuchi Yuanhe was a little frustrated, "How can you forgive me? No, just stab me to relieve your anger."

Deep down in Ye Zhiyan's heart, he really longed for someone to know him and stay with him, to make up for the shortcomings of the year.It is also because of this that his requirements for feelings are more pure, hoping that they will not contain any impurities, will not be changed by any factors, and will not be mixed with even a little bit by others.

He said: "At your age, in most families, you should be a beautiful wife and concubine, with a group of children. Many people have heard of your romantic affairs. But what I want is a couple for a lifetime. No one else, and no one else.”

Yuchi Yuanhe was a little surprised, "It's that simple?"

"It's simple, but it's not simple. People's hearts are changeable. In this world, there are always more people looking forward to Shu, and fewer people with rock-like hearts."

Yuchi Yuanhe's joy was immediately revealed, his eyes were bright, "If I can be as heart-like as a rock, then you..."

Ye Zhiyan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't think you are such a person."

"I can change for you." Yuchi Yuanhe was sincere and urgent, "You also said that people's hearts are changeable, so I will change now."

He hugged Ye Zhiyan all at once, and Ye Zhiyan didn't struggle anymore.
